R R., SC (2009 Nissan Murano)"like the CVT transmission with no shift points for smoothness and ability to find the sweet spot in its power banded-- cvt has now developed slack at idle to first acceleration around 140K miles"
Anonymous, AR (2009 Nissan Murano)"Acceleration is entirely adequate, perhaps to the detriment of fuel efficiency. Handling is entirely adequate."

Philip M., NC (2009 Nissan Murano)"I had a BMW 325 before the Murano, and was afraid I would be giving up acceleration and handling. I did not. Turns out the Murano is really the ultimate driving machine."
Dominique J., MN (2009 Nissan Murano)"The car accelerates very well between 40-80 mph. I never have a problem getting onto the freeway."
Anonymous, AK (2009 Nissan Murano)"The Murano still handles and drives great, even after almost 10 years on the road. Quick & smooth acceleration from the CVT and it handles well over bumps & through turns."
Andrew S., IA (2009 Nissan Murano)"One of the main reasons I bought the Murano is because of the CVT transmission. There is no jump in the automatic transmission as it shuts gears. I never liked that in the Toyotas I drove previously. The Murano accelerates smoothly and has great pick up."
Ann-Felice F., LA (2009 Nissan Murano)"Good acceleration"
PHILIP M., NY (2009 Nissan Murano)"cumbersome"
Anonymous, VA (2009 Nissan Murano)"Holds the road in crosswinds, stable changing lanes, accelerates well to merge and pass."
